I have seen Saving Mr. Banks and Philomena (both very wonderful) and now have to see Hobbit 2 and The Invisible Woman. Oh, and the new season of Sherlock! So many films. Thanks for the heads up about some of my fave actors in The Hobbit 2. And I hope Richard Armitage does some more singing! ;)Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-52391843609509063182013-12-27T15:59:29.783-05:002013-12-27T15:59:29.783-05:00Philomena is fantastic--really loved that movie. ...Philomena is fantastic--really loved that movie. I'm also looking forward to Saving Mr. Banks,The Book Thief, and American Hustle. I just watched the first Hobbit movie (well about 2/3 before I fell asleep), and probably won't bother with the second. I loved the book (read 3-4 times when I was young), but they just dragged it out too much and put in too much backstory and battles for my taste.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-56443589666863440692013-12-18T08:47:49.879-05:002013-12-18T08:47:49.879-05:00Thanks Jenny.

It could have looked silly, but instead it looked positively menacing! You could have imagined that he actually was a dragon...<br /><br />Anyway, looking forward to hearing all your impressions of the film when you do get to see it!<br /><br />LRK, or Lark :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-17363912894701237632013-12-16T15:40:59.319-05:002013-12-16T15:40:59.319-05:00The weekend snowstorm kept me from seeing Saving M...The weekend snowstorm kept me from seeing Saving Mr. Banks in Toronto on the weekend (early opening), so now I'm planning to see it this coming weekend ... so we'll be able to compare notes afterward. Emma Thompson's performance is certainly garnering much praise and awards nominations ...Big Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296255365335823922noreply@blogger.com
